wildlightphoto Posted January 6, 2014 Share #1  Posted January 6, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The hummingbird feeders in my yard have attracted several of the resident Anna's Hummingbirds, one of which is an adult male with full breeding plumage (the Anna's Hummingbird is one of the first birds to nest each year). Today I had the time to take advantage of the little buzz-birds' antics:  technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, tripod & blind. All comments welcome. Welcome, dear visitor!

wildlightphoto Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share #8 Â Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks for all the kind remarks! On another forum (yes there are others) there was a recent discussion of retirement and one observation was that a successful retirement is where you are retiring to something, not from something. Retirement for me is less than a year away and I have a pretty good idea what I'll be retiring to. I can hardly wait! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
